About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn. To live

ABOUT ME

I like to learn about almost everything, with an especial feeling towards music, history and dancing. I also like to dance, especially samba de gafiera.
I can play the flute and the saxophone (perhaps I should say that I can blow a flute and a saxophone).
One of my passions is reading, but since I entered my graduation course it has been difficult to find time to read as much as I´d like.

PHILOSOPHY

"There is no wealth like knowledge, no poverty like ignorance"
Ali bin Abul-Talib
"The person who asks is a fool for five minutes, the person who doesn´t ask, is a fool for life"
I would like to ask the source:)... (I´ve heard that somewhere)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can give info about Brazil, and my house is open to almost any visitor. By info I do not only mean travel info(like do and don´t), but also information about Brazilian music, universities (we have 3 or 4 public universities that exceeds even European standards), history, Brazilian foods and whatever I can help with. I am also a nice gafieira dancer

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only really good experiences so far. I´ve tried hosting, surfing, last minute surfing and last minute hosting. I´ve made some good friends and learned a lot!

Interests

Meeting People, making Friends, learning- these three are the main reasons why I like to travel.
Music- Either listen to or blowing something in the sax.
Dancing- I will try and learn whatever style gets in my way!
Culture- Different ways of living and thinking.
Learning languages(now I am after German)
History- I really like this stuff.
